You may have started to gain weight. Your baby’s appearance begins to resemble that of a newborn more. Your Baby
Your baby’s heart is pumping about 6 gallons of blood each day and is beating about twice as fast as yours. The baby’s body is growing longer in proportion to the head, and the baby’s general appearance is becoming much more like that of a newborn. The bones are continuing to harden but will stay flexible to accommodate the baby’s trip through the birth canal. This week the baby has grown to about 5.1 inches! Changes in your Body Your enlarging abdomen may become noticeable by now. Gaining 5 to 10 pounds by this time is normal. Weight gain differs from woman to woman and depends on whether this is your first pregnancy. Further reading< Pregnancy week 16 Pregnancy week 18 >Comments (8)
![]() Up and Down Weight
written by Tarilynne , November 05, 2008
I am up and down with my weight. I weigh myself one day and the next day with the same scale and it says that I go between 3-5 lbs. everyday. I know that you know 1-2 lbs. a day is usual due to things like eating and exercising but am I losing too much each day or what? If you know PLEASE let me know what you think!!!

Weight gain!!!

I was told that when your pregnant that your only suppose to gain 30lbs the most during the whole pregnancy. I'm on my 16th week and I gained about 5lbs. To much weight gain is not good that early in the pregnancy. This is also my first and I think the only problem I have is I eat to much candy LOL.

I'm 16 weeks and I gained about 6 lbs or so. It doesn't matter when you gain the weight every woman is different and some gain early and others gain late. As long as your baby is fine and so are you eat on.

I'm 17 weeks and 1 day today . With my last pregnancy i lost 35 lbs withing the first 4 months, but gained a total of 38lbs back. Crazy I know, but the doctor kept a close eye on baby, and he's now an almost 7 month old healthy boy. Now with baby number two my pre-prenancy weight was less, and so far i have lost 17 lbs, and the baby's growth is perfectly normal. So weight loss and gain kinda are up in the air in the early months. you only have to worry if you're losing too much weight towards the end.
